Hex Rally Monday night

As Longhorn and Aggie fans prepare for what is touted as possibly the last gridiron meeting of the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University-College Station, one school’s pep rally has fallen victim to a county burn ban while the other is set for Austin Monday night.

The Austin American-Statesman reports that the Aggies’ traditional Bonfire, moved off campus as an unofficial event for legal reasons after the collapse tragedy, has been canceled this year because of a burn ban in the ongoing drought.

The Longhorn’s Hex Rally is scheduled to begin 8:30 p.m. Monday on the Main Mall of the UT campus. Longhorn football players, coaches, cheerleaders and band members are expected to appear. Oh, and Bevo usually shows up, too.
